Hey there folks. Ok, I know this is off topic, but this is a Movie BLOG, so since this is internet related, I figure I can get away with it. After hearing so many people talk about it, I finally decided to download and try the Firefox browser. I’ve gotta tell you folks, it is so much better and more fun to use than Mircosoft’s Internet Explorer that it’s hard to know where to start.
Here are just some of the highlights. It’s got a built in popup blocker to stop those pesky popups and you don’t need another utility to do it for you. My favorite feature of it so far is the tabbed browsing. You can load several pages at once while you’re reading another one. Very cool, and you don’t have to open up multiple windows to do it. It’s a LOT safer and more secure than Explorer. For the last few months I would notice that my internet was actively downloading stuff without me doing anything (and no, it wasn’t just the automatic update feature). As soon as I switched to Firefox that all stopped. The coolest feature is it’s ability to automatically identify if a site has an RSS feed (Like The Movie Blog does) and displays a little button in the lower corner. All you have to do is click the little button and it automatically becomes bookmarked in your “favorites” list and when you mouse over that bookmark it shows you all the latest headlines that are on that site. AMAZING!
The feature list goes on and you can read it here. For some reason that I can’t explain it also seems to run faster and smoother too. So to make you’re blog surfing experience even better, head over to the Firefox site and download it (it’s only 4.5 megs!)
